His biography is available in 19 different languages on Wikipedia (up from 18 in 2024). Lee Soo-hyuk is the 8,060th most popular actor (down from 7,575th in 2024), the 517th most popular biography from South Korea (down from 456th in 2019) and the 234th most popular South Korean Actor.

Actor Lee Soo-hyuk is most famous for his striking, model-like appearance and versatile performances in K-dramas, particularly his chilling role as the cold yet tormented grim reaper Park Joong-gil in the fantasy series Tomorrow (2022), his charismatic vampire villain in the historical sageuk Scholar Who Walks the Night (2015)—which earned him the Best New Actor award at the MBC Drama Awards and widespread praise for stealing scenes—and supporting turns in hits like Doom at Your Service (2021), High School King of Savvy (2014), and more recent projects such as S Line (2025) and the psychological thriller film Sister (2026), while maintaining a strong presence in fashion and as a YG Entertainment artist. He has also appeared in films like Pipeline (2021) and upcoming Netflix series including Grand Galaxy Hotel (2026) and The Dealer (2027). Something surprising about him is that he started his career as a runway model in 2006, walking for major international brands like Balenciaga at Paris and London Fashion Weeks, and was already a celebrated fashion figure—winning Best New Model and multiple Best Dressed awards—before transitioning to acting, where his sharp features and deep voice made him a natural fit for enigmatic, intense characters.
